Fire Marshal Urges Snow Clearing At Hydrants, Exits

In view of the coming winter snow season, the town fire marshal is urging that residents practice certain fire safety measures.

People who have a fire hydrant or a dry hydrant located in front of their homes or businesses are asked to keep the hydrant clear for potential use after snowfalls by shoveling snow away from the area around the hydrant. Doing so will provide firefighters with clear access to the hydrant.

Also, businesses are required to clear the snow away from their secondary exits and their stair exits after snowfalls.
